What this cause is has been stated hv per

Every particle of blood which passes

least deranged they cannot rid the blood of

like sewer tubes of the kidneys very easily
get blocked up and diseased; and when they
do. they corrupt instead of purifying the
blood. Kidney disease may exist and yet
no pain occur in that organ, because it is
deficient in nerves of sensation.

showed that 50 per cent. of the victims OF
consumption were afflicted with deranged
kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poi

the lungs. This uric acid is always fight
